Oregon Community Renewable Energy Grant Program Advisory Committee to Meet October 13

 

The advisory committee for the Oregon Community Renewable Energy Grant Program will meet virtually on Thursday, October 13. The public is invited to listen in as the committee receives a report from Oregon Department of Energy staff on the first round of applications for the grant program and considers potential changes ahead of the next round.

 

Meeting Details:
 

Date/Time: Thursday, October 13 | 2-3 p.m.
 

Location: Online via Webex. Details to join the meeting are available online.

 

Members of the public are welcome to listen in on advisory committee discussions. There will also be an opportunity for public comments.

 

Background:

 

In 2021, the legislature passed the landmark “Clean Electricity for All” bill, House Bill 2021, which included a 4 year, $50 million grant program to support community-based energy resilience and clean energy projects. The first round of applications opened in June of 2022, offering $12 million in grants. Over 68 applications from around the state came in, requesting over $27 million in grants. This summer and fall, Oregon Department of Energy staff and an external review committee have worked through a competitive review process to select which projects will be awarded. This review process will wrap up with awards being announced in early October. Applicants that do not get selected in this round are encouraged to apply for the second round of funding, opening later in October.
